Abstract
The short run interaction between capacity utilization and the price-cost margin is investigated. The findings indicate that the emergence of unplanned excess capacity will in most cases provoke an initial narrowing of the price-cost margin. However, the price-cost margin will often rise again when the excess capacity lasts for an extended time period. The total response is still likely to be a decrease of the price-cost margin.
